Description The sky had darkened and the veil protecting them from the ravaged of unleased forbidden magics had been torn.
CJ rushed back to try to save the sages. They had taken the boy Chowli under their wings as their claimed profit. The one the Pandorans had been waiting for to lead them to utopia.
CJ had never believed in that bull and just wished the girls and Chowli were safe.
...
"There you are CJ, we thought that you had been swallowed as well, we are sorry we can't giggle for you this time."
He arrived too late, Chowli was gone and the girls were injured gravely.
"But we do have a gift for you" The sages said as they grabbed onto him. "please avenge us?"
All three showed off their blossomed wings, tattered, and showing signs of wilting.
He made a silent promise to them as he watched them turn into dust....
A sharp pain suddenly slammed into his back and knocked the wind out of him....
.....
--------
OMG what is wrong with me?
My productivity has gone down to an ever so small crawl.
It makes me sad that I am not doing as much stuff anymore, well not true, I am doodling a lot, but nothing worth while.

This has to be one of the first images I have completed traditionally in forever. (feels liek forever to me)

So this started a while ago when I was debating what/how the pandorans ruling system was, and well it ended up turning into a semi sage/oracle style thing, which I still have to work into the story properly.
All I know that is they are the only 3 pandorans who have wings. and Yes I did want the wings to look like flower petals, didn't really get the exact look, but yeah, it works ok.

Just a major note here, I am not overly pleased with this, the anatomy is off and I hate the young one's face, it was epic fail, and then when I tried to fix it, it failed more, luckily I managed to fix it to be tolerable.

•Q: Is their hair like plants or something?
•A: Yes, all pandoran hair is plants.

•Q: Then why is the tall one's purple and stringy?
•A: It is a burgandy coloured grass, look about and notice plants come in more colours then just green plz.

•Q: The BG looks digital.
•A: I had to knock it back some in photoshop because I had made a bad colour choice, and traditional isn't forgiving.

•Q: What mediums do you use?
•A: Inked with Staedtler coloured 0.3 pens, base colours with copic markers, shaded with prisma coloured pencils, blended with more copics, Highlighted with gellpen and gouache.

•Q: Do they have clothes under the ponchos?
•A: Probably not, I didn't design anything to go under yet, if I ever do.

Once again type a % if you read this all XD

They are all just too adorable. I really love their designs and how you differentiated them with color and different types of plants for hair. I especially like the tallest one... And the one kneeling looks so cute and excitable. Very awesome traditional work... Hope to see more of these 3!

I know what you mean about traditional not being forgiving. It terrifies me to no end, haha, to the point where I don't want to spend forever drawing something only to have it destroyed by traditional failings.

You're pretty % damn awesome.
